It's not a question of 'who's afraid - or who can 'force' others. That's democrat-type thinking. It's offensive. It's the way bullies and thugs think... it's 'democrat'.
I'm stunned Starboard that you would see the tactics of the bully as a good thing...

In this world, to have credibility you have to say what you mean and mean what you say. Weakness gets no respect, and ALWAYS invites more aggression.
You can’t score points always playing defense. Republicans need to go on offense and be more forceful in standing up to Democrats who I can assure you view politics as bloodsport. In this battle only the tough survive.
You say time is on our side. Let me respectfully remind you that Obama, the Democrats and their allies in the media have spent the last five years moving full speed ahead on their progressive agenda. We are losing valuable time and ground to them.
Being passive is not the answer. The Tea Party understands that but the GOP will never get it.
